Located on and around a picturesque golf course, the properties will boast fine finishings and designer décor – as well as plenty of shared parks and landscaped areas. The pride of the development, which has just been completed in stages, will be the lavish multibedroom villas.

We love the double-storey-height windows that light the grand staircases, and the vast spaces for entertaining: the ground floor features a large kitchen with breakfast area, living room, formal dining area and family room. Upstairs, the layout is equally generous, with spectacular views of the golf course and community. The Details Where is it? Dubailand How many bedrooms? Four or five How much does it cost?

Jumeirah Ivo Ulmann and his wife Angie Hall have made this unique district their home Words by Hazel Plush; images by Nasir Rauf Having lived in over 15 different countries, Angie and Ivo would have been forgiven for not making a mark on their Dubai home. Setting up house can be exhausting, but this lively couple took it all in their stride – again. Indeed, when I walk into the Jumeirah villa where they’ve resided for two years, I’m mesmerised by the colours, humour and vibrancy of their interior design – and that ever-elusive quality, a sense of home. “Before we were married, we had a place that was all white and ivory,” Angie admits as she shows me around. “But when we had our son Sasha, we wanted to create a space where he could be comfortable, and that didn’t feel like a show home.” The family’s warmth and sense of fun is clear at every turn: art and photos hang ‘We see the skyline of the city in one direction, and the beach in the other’ pride of place on the walls, and quirky books and mementoes reflect the family’s humour. “We love to display art and pictures,” says Angie. “Everything we own tends to have an element of humour in it. We’ve got Chinese propaganda posters from Shanghai, which have amazing colours in them – and they remind me of my childhood in China. We have pictures by Sasha, retro Americana posters from Los Angeles, arty postcards, family photos… It’s all very eclectic, and we love it.” Angie and Ivo’s travels have inspired their interiors too: “We have collected a lot of items over the years from various parts of the world,” says Ivo. “So many things have a story attached to them – we have pieces from Korea, Kurdistan, Egypt, Europe... We’ve put it all together bit by bit, over the years – although these days anything we buy is usually Sasha-related.” Indeed, Sasha has had more influence on the design of the family home than most 11-year-old boys. Almost the entire first floor September 2013 18 Cover Feature is taken up by his model car collection – a playful, colourful display that the whole family have contributed to over the years. “When Sasha was nine months old, Ivo was given a remote-controlled car by his brother,” Angie explains. “Sasha was entranced – and that was it. He started playing with cars and he’d watch Top Gear over and over. By the time he was 15 months old, he could identify at least 30 car brands. Now he has a big model collection, and it has turned into a passion for all of us.” Angie and Ivo originally chose Jumeirah for its location – near to Sasha’s school, and a stone’s throw from the beach. Ivo, the Director of Technical Services for the Carlson Rezidor hospitality group, travels frequently for work – so the close proximity ‘In Jumeirah, we see a different side of Dubai from the people that live in the new developments’ to Dubai International Airport is handy. Angie owns her own company – 360°td, a creative strategy firm that specialises in travel and tourism – so the villa’s central location is a great base for client meetings. But practicality aside, Jumeirah fits perfectly with the family’s sense of adventure: “It’s not an expat suburb, it’s a real place – and we love that,” says Ivo. “There’s a mosque at the end of our road, and we hear the call to prayer – it’s authentic. I think we see a different side of Dubai from the people that live in the new developments. I think a lot of families seek out areas full of people of their own nationality – there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s not us. You have to be comfortable outside the expat bubble to live here.” September 2013 The location also gives the family’s houseguests a glimpse of Dubai that they might otherwise not see. “Up on the rooftop, the view is fantastic,” says Angie. “We see the skyline of the city in one direction, and the beach in the other. It’s lovely for guests – when they come, they really feel that they’re part of Dubai.” When I visit, the family are hosting Rebecca, a family friend from Austria. It’s not unusual for them to have a full house, however, as the spacious villa is perfect for parties. “There’s usually something crazy stuff going on,” says Angie. “There’ll be a bunch of people staying here, a big party, a fashion show… Working in the hospitality industry, we love to entertain.” Maybe that’s the trick of Angie and Ivo’s warm home: having lived and worked in hotels all over the world, they’re adept at bringing out the best in their surroundings. “I think we’re quite settled wherever we go,” Angie confirms. “We’d only been here two weeks when friends came round and said it looked like we’d been here forever. One day we’ll move on, but not any time soon – and as long as we’re in Dubai we’ll stay in Jumeirah. There really is nowhere else in the city like it.” Cover Feature 21 Jumeirah: the essentials Your need-to-know guide to what’s in and around the area Renting & buying Leisure time Shopping & eating Schooling Expats are only able to rent property in Jumeirah. This is a family-orientated district, with villas of all shapes and sizes – each with its own character. Jumeirah is one of the older parts of the city, with its own charm. The quality of the properties does vary – while most villas are in good condition, some may be a little tired. Rental prices are fair, however, and you can snap up a good deal. Large families will love the options for three-, fourand five-bedroom abodes, many properties have their own gardens and pools. This is a low-rise community, and the views of the city and beach are fantastic. Jumeirah Beach Road is brimming with independent shops and eateries, as well as lots of beauty salons, hairdressers and spas. Leafy Al Safa Park is just a quick drive away, and over the winter you'll find a lively schedule of team sports (keep an eye on local messageboards if you’re looking for a new fitness hobby). There are plenty of local gyms, too, and Jumeirah Grand Mosque is great for showing visitors the more authentic side of Dubai (organise a tour with the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding). Jumeirah Beach Park and Open Beach are right on your doorstep. You'll find everything you need on Jumeirah Beach Road: the restaurants, boutiques and coffee shops offer a refreshing break from Dubai's cookie-cutter malls. There are post offices, banks and medical clinics nearby, and the barbecue pits at Al Safa Park are great for al fresco get-togethers. For up-market dining, the hotels in the area provide restaurants galore – the eateries and outlets at Madinat Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel are firm favourites. For more relaxed dining, we love quirky Thai restaurant Smiling BKK (04 349 6677) whose interior décor has to be seen to be believed... The schooling options in and around the Jumeirah district are plentiful. For kindergarten, look to Jumeirah International Nursery School (jinschools.com), Ladybird Nursery (ladybirdnursery.ae) and Emerald City Nursery (emeraldcitynursery.com). The primary-level choices include Gems Wellington Primary School (gemswps.com), Safa School Dubai (safaschooldubai. com), and Jumeirah English Speaking School (jess.sch.ae). For older children, look to the likes of GEMS Jumeirah College (gemsjc.com) and Raffles International School (rafflesis. com) for secondary-level education. September 2013 22 Cover Feature Property picks Villas in Jumeirah are rental-only for expats, but there's still plenty of great property to choose from. We've found the hottest new leases on the market... Villa for rent Tucked between Al Wasl and Jumeirah Beach roads, this regal villa occupies one of the city's most sought-after slices of real estate. With five bedrooms (all with en suite bathrooms), a family room and living area, it's certainly not short on space, and there's a grassy private garden to the rear of the property. All fixtures and fittings are included with the rent, and there's parking space for a whopping three vehicles too.

Take your pick from three bedrooms (we'd bagsy the one with Burj Khalifa views), settle in to the spacious living room and fully-equipped kitchen, and enjoy the property's top-notch amenities: there's a lush landscaped garden, private maid's quarters, and the beach is just a stroll away. It's ready to move into now, and is available with optional furnishings. Facts and figures: AED315,000 (p/a), 3,500 sq.ft Contact: BH consultant Ghada Ghannam and quote reference number VI317743 Market update Independent Finance’s general manager Sam Wani reveals the latest movements in mortgages 75% of all property transactions in the UAE are cash based, and 25% are mortgage based. This is highly risky. Unlike mortgage based end-users who buy for longer term personal use, cash buyers are mostly investors looking for maximum returns. They are therefore very mobile and would easily quit the market if they get better returns somewhere else. For instance, the return of confidence in the US economy is already improving the real-estate markets there. If the European economy shows similar signs, the real-estate market there will improve, and result in some of Dubai's cash investors moving their investments there. One reason why so many cash investors have entered the market is the remarkable growth we witnessed during 2012. According to an index published by the Global Property Guide, Dubai was the best property market in the world in respect of appreciation. Prices grew by 28% between Q1 2012 to Q3 2013. Hong Kong followed with 20% growth. It is interesting to note that luxury house prices in 'Indians invested AED8 billion in Dubai in the first half of 2013' Dubai are one-tenth of those in Monaco, which is recognised as having the world’s most expensive property market. To put this into perspective, a fivebed villa in Arabian Ranches costing AED6 million would cost AED60 million in Monaco. Now, here is an eye-opener. A recent ruling by Reserve Bank of India, India’s central bank, could have some implications for the UAE property market. Indians are now barred from sending more than $75,000 abroad per year. Previously, this figure was $200,000. What is more, none of this can be invested in real-estate either directly or indirectly. Indians invested some AED8 billion in real estate in Dubai during first half of this year, making up for 15% of the investors. A large proportion of them were non-resident Indians who are not impacted by the new laws. The remaining ones will now find it challenging to invest in Dubai real-estate. Since the proportion is quite small, it may not have a significant impact on the overall market, but this does prove how important it is to grow the mortgage based end-users to provide depth and stability to the market. independentuae.com September 2013 A B C D E F G H I J K L M 1 2 Dubai Waterfront Arabian r G Gulf The Palm Jebel Ali 3 4 The Palm Jumeirah 5 WATERFRONT DISTRICT Jumeirah Beach Residence 6 5 Jumeirah The Gardens Heights Jebel Ali Freezone Jebel Ali Village Downtown Jebel Ali 8 JEBEL ALI DISTRICT M 6 Ibn Battuta Mall 7 Dubai Marina Dubai Pearl Media Internet City City Jumeirah 7 Lake Towers Greens TECOM Emirates Hills Meadows Abu Dhabi Discovery Gardens Jumeirah Islands Jumeirah Park Al Furjan EMIRATES LIVING DISTRICT Technology Park Green Community 9 Jumeirah Village Triangle 8 Jumeirah Golf Estates Dubai Investment Park International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) Dubai World Central 10 11 The Lakes The Springs Jumeirah Village Circle Dubai Sports City Motor City WORLD CENTRAL DISTRICT DUBAILAND DISTRICT Maktoum Int.

There are things, some simple and others less so, to reduce consumption. This not only lowers carbon footprint, it also saves money, while keeping homes comfortably cool. T he first ‘sinner’ or ‘winner’ is air conditioning Representing between 60 to 80 percent of energy charges for an average home during the summer, in this region, home cooling is as essential as running water. Yet this technology is notoriously expensive and unsustainable to run if poorly maintained or over-used and abused. “Primarily as a result of increased use of air conditioning, energy consumption in the UAE more than doubles during the summer” says HE Abdullah Saif Al Nuaimi, Director of Privatisation, Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority. This could be reduced by 20 percent if energy saving measures became the norm, rather than the exception. What savings can be made around airconditioning? For starters, use the right size of air conditioner for the area that is to be cooled. Air conditioners should therefore be sized by a professional. A. Set your air conditioner thermostat as high as you can tolerate it without feeling hot. The smaller the difference between the outside and inside temperatures, the lower the overall air conditioner energy consumption. Every degree above 25 can save up to 4 percent of your A/C bill. B. Keep the unit fan set on ‘auto.’ It is unnecessary to run the fan constantly. Nowadays, digital thermostats are also more accurate than the older models and help to control temperatures better. They are programmable so that you can cool the house down an hour before you expect to get back to it. Try to set all room thermostats at the same temperature. C. Avoid setting your air conditioner thermostat to a lower temperature than normal when you turn it on. It will not cool the area any faster. The unit may even ice over and no cold air will come out at all. D. Easily test how efficient your air conditioner is. Simply run your unit for at least fifteen minutes and the output temperature should be around 13 degrees C. The temperature difference between the output duct and return duct should be around 15 degrees C. If it is lower it means your return ducts are too close to the output and you are losing cold air. E. Consider using interior fans along with your air conditioner to circulate the cooled air more effectively through the area. This may allow you to raise the temperature setting on the air conditioner thermostat by a few degrees. Ensure the fan is spinning in the correct direction. All ceiling fans spin in both directions. One way helps cool the house by forcing cold air down and the other direction helps heat the house by forcing hot air down. Check the instruction manual on your ceiling fans; they will have directions on the proper settings. F. Cooling homes in the UAE is more challenging than Charles Neil Is a Director of Eurotek Services, established in 2006. Prior to this Charles was the CEO of Landmark Properties, following his successful tenure as part of the start-up team at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Before this, he was the General Manager of Emirates Bank International, Dubai, UAE. Prior to Emirates Bank, Charles was the Regional Head for Lloyds Bank plc (International). A longterm resident of the Gulf, Charles has lived in Dubai for 30 years. He was the founder of the British Buisness Group (BBG) in 1987 and has been a Governor at Dubai College since 1986. elsewhere due to the extremely high levels of humidity in the air. Using an air conditioner alone will help to remove some of the humidity, but usually does not remove enough to make the home comfortable. In a humid climate it is important to dehumidify air in addition to cooling it with an air conditioner. It takes extra energy to run both the dehumidifier and the air conditioner. Humidifiers may be free-standing placed in strategic locations, or another method is to install a dehumidifying heat pipe. These pipes can be added to systems already in existence, and usually cost less than operating free-standing dehumidifiers. Another method can be used when purchasing a new air conditioner. When buying a new unit, it pays to look for one that has a moisture removal setting or a cooling output that is variable. This means that when the system is operating, the air will blow across the coils of the air conditioner more slowly, which helps to remove more of the moisture from the air for extra comfort. Removing moisture also reduces the incidence of mould growing in cupboards. G. Place the air conditioner compressor at the north side of the house, or shade it from direct sunlight. A unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10 percent less electricity than one operating in the sun. However, make sure that airflow is not restricted by plants as this can reduce your unit’s efficiency. H. Conduct regular maintenance on your air conditioning unit. Change the filters regularly; dirty filters restrict air flow, reducing efficiency. Have your air conditioning unit inspected by a service technician to check the refrigerant coolant levels, clean the outdoor unit coils, and also check the airflow over the indoor unit cooling coils; three things that can reduce your unit’s efficiency by up to 40 percent. I. Dirty coils alone can reduce your air conditioners performance by up to 10 percent. While you can clean these make sure you consult the manufacturer’s recommendations before doing any work. However, many units can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and a garden hose (spray downward). Make sure your outdoor unit coil fins are not bent. If you have tough stains, try using a toothbrush. Always turn off the power before cleaning the unit and be careful not to damage the delicate coils. J. Change or clean your filters monthly. Dirty filters restrict the airflow, making your air conditioners work harder to circulate air and consume more electricity. K. Insulate your ducts. Ducts can be sealed with mastic tape or sealer and then wrapped with low-cost, foil-faced, R08 rated fiberglass insulation. According to the U.S. Department of Have your air ` conditioning unit inspected by a service technician to check the coolant levels, clean the coils, and check the airflow over the cooling coils; three things that can reduce your unit’s efficiency by up to 40 percent.” degree above `25Every can save up to 4 percent of your A/C bill.” Energy, the cost of insulating the ducts will be repaid in less than three years with the energy savings. L. Have your ductwork professionally cleaned every few years. Obstructions in the ducts are almost as bad as leaks when it comes to reducing efficiency. Dirty ductwork can also clog evaporator coils, which will further reduce an air conditioner’s efficiency. Leaking or dirty ducts also encourage the growth of mould and can be a major cause of respiratory illness in a home. M. Avoid placing any appliance that generates heat near your air conditioner thermostat. The thermostat senses this heat and keeps the air conditioner running at a high demand longer than necessary. Make sure your room thermostat and duct temperature sensors are installed in the right position to get proper sensing to turn off the A/C after reaching the set temperature. It is preferable not to use heat-producing appliances such as your oven, dishwasher, or clothes dryer until late in the evening. For clothes dryers, make sure the exhaust vent and duct channels the hot air outside. N. If your air conditioner is old, consider buying a new energyefficient model with the ENERGY STAR label. Doing this can save you up to 40 percent on your cooling bill. O. Reduce solar heat gain in the house by: (i) shading the south and west walls of the house from direct sunlight by planting trees or installing awnings; (ii) paint the walls and roof with light colour (preferably white) paint to reflect most of the sunlight and reduce heat gain. These measures would reduce your energy demand. P. Use blinds or curtains to shade any south or west facing windows during the hottest parts of the day. If you do not want to cover the window, consider solar shade screens, which have a special weave that blocks sunlight without necessarily blocking the view. Q. Turn off lights that are not needed. Apart from saving electricity usage, lights also generate heat. For indoor lighting, use compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs–commonly called energy savers–instead of the incandescent bulbs. CFLs produce about 75 percent less heat than incandescent bulbs. Consider solar lights with LED for boundary walls and external use with power storage for 8 to 12 hours R. Whilst adopting all these measures may not cut your cooling bill in half, you will see a reduction in your bills and your AC unit will run more efficiently.

The JBR Walk has also been a success, which adds value to the community. Unfortunately, the community is currently seeing a large amount of construction work which is causing traffic problems. However, the beachfront development should be finished by the end of this year, with the tram line (to the rear of the community) completed by early next year.

With JLT’s infrastructure almost completed, I believe the area will become a very popular destination. Over the past four years, DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) has attracted more than 4,000 new companies to the free zone, 90% of which are new to Dubai. In 2013 an average of 200 new companies joined DMCC every single month. This demand demonstrates the market confidence in DMCC and Dubai and underlines the need for new commercial space.

Here’s how to prep your property for successful viewings… Get rid of any unessential clutter – it’s important to create a blank canvas. Be brutal: a few framed photographs will be enough to create a welcoming atmosphere, but anything else should be packed away in boxes. Think of it as a head-start on the moving process – and great preparation for the impending cleaning spree. Viewers will want to imagine their lives in the property, and it’s hard to do that when it’s full of someone else’s knick-knacks. with an attractive coffee table and a beautiful display of flowers. It’s a much more appealing, aspirational centrepiece. Remove any non-essential furniture and marvel at the extra space it creates – viewers will love this. If you’ve already packed up your sofa and dining table, it can be worth hiring some new ones for show: Indigo Living (indigo-living.com) provides coordinating short- and long-term rentals that are up to date with the latest trends too. Take inspiration from property magazines and introduce a few stylish touches. If your house looks like a show home, people will want to live in it, so replace the television Deep clean the entire property – with professional help if necessary. Each surface needs to be spotless, every floor gleaming, all stains removed. Pay attention September 2013 to small details, too – dirty light switches and finger-marked doors are a no-no. Some companies offer a pre-sale deep clean service for a thorough overhaul – try Housekeeping Co (housekeepingco.com) or HTS Facility Management (hts-uae.ae). Once the property is ready, invite a good friend for a practice viewing – having a fresh (and honest) pair of eyes will help you scrutinise the space. Tackle the bathrooms – with little natural light and potentially dingy spots, washrooms can be troublesome for sellers. Ensure that buyers get the best impression by fixing damp patches, freshening grouting, and replacing any tired fixtures Feature 59 Expert advice Better Homes residential consultant Syed Wajih shares his essential tips for selling property in Dubai (shower curtains, paper holders and loo seats are prime suspects). Keep colours neutral, and put your daily toiletries in a box and hide it during viewings: people don’t want to see toothbrushes and half-used bottles of shampoo. A small plant can make the room look fresh, and there’s nothing like a full set of matching fluffy towels to make a bathroom feel welcoming. Overhaul your kitchen cupboards and storage areas. The kitchen must appear orderly and hygienic – whether it’s the most-used room in the house, or the cellophane’s still on your oven. Get rid of all pictures and menus, replace tired tea towels, and ensure that bins are empty and clean. Viewers will want to snoop through your cupboards to check storage space, so don’t hide surface clutter in there – arrange tins and tubs neatly, and give the fridge a thorough clean. Try to avoid cooking less than three hours before a viewer comes: they won’t want to smell your dinner, and a pile of washing up is sure to turn their stomach. De-personalise the bedrooms and invest in some stylish accessories – replace photos, face creams and hairdryers with scented candles and a bunch of fresh flowers. Bed linens should be high-quality and neutral coloured, and curtains must be clean and well-fitting. Keep clothes hidden, but don’t over-stuff built-in wardrobes – potential buyers will want to check inside the storage. It’s worth re-decorating children’s bedrooms in neutral colours and putting their least-used toys in storage, too – but ‘Introduce a few stylish touches. If your house looks like a show home, people will want to live in it’ to ease the upheaval make it clear to them this is just temporary. And if you use a maid’s room as a dumping ground, clear it out – show off its potential as an office or playroom, and let the viewers imagine how they’d use the space. Don’t overlook outside spaces – for some buyers, they’ll be a key part of the deal. As with the interior of the property, the space should be clean and uncluttered. Smart tables and chairs can add al fresco appeal, so if you’re planning to purchase new furniture for your new house, buy it now and place it on display – and then reap the rewards. Maintenance companies such as Ecogreen Landscaping LLC (ecogreendubai.com) can also give your garden an overhaul or help to make the most of limited space. Welcome new viewers by ensuring that signage to the property is visible and accurate, and always leave a parking space for visitors – this will make the process go smoothly, and help to get viewings off to a positive start. If possible, send kids to a friend’s house so you can give viewers your full attention, and don’t schedule more than one visit at a time – you don’t want them to feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. “It’s essential to be sensitive to cultural differences – people will respond well to that during viewings. The most important consideration, however, is the impression your property makes on them: always ensure it’s clean, tidy and welcoming. When somebody is viewing a house, they need to be able to envision themselves living there. Therefore, it’s essential to think carefully about your furniture. Clear away anything unnecessary, and make sure that the furniture that’s left is good quality. Some companies offer good furniture for rent, which can make a place feel homely – but in all the years I’ve been selling real estate, I can only think of a few times when the buyers’ tastes have matched the sellers’ tastes. Lighting is very important – people always want lots of natural light, and it can be the selling point of a property. If you’re only holding viewings in the evenings, make sure the lights are working well. If the property is unoccupied, hold viewings during daylight hours, as DEWA will likely have been disconnected.“ September 2013 60 Better Interiors Better... kids’ bedrooms Make bedtime a breeze with these cool designs for tiny tykes Jungle VIP Your monkeys will go crazy for this Jungle bedroom design from ID Design (left, iddesignuae.com).

It’s essential to have any maintenance requirements checked before you move in. Plan, organise and arrange as much in advance as possible. If you plan to paint or paper the walls, get the job done before you start moving furniture in. If you’re moving into a villa, have the water tank cleaned and arrange a full pest control service. Employ the services of a maintenance provider and have all your air conditioners serviced, your plumbing and electrical systems checked, and replace all of the batteries in your fire alarm sensors. Once all of these jobs are completed, arrange a deep clean for the whole property, including all floors and cupboards. Visit facebook.com/Mplusae for a detailed move-in check-list.” mplus.ae “Cats can get upset at the slightest change in their environment, so you may want to book him into a cattery whilst the packing and unpacking is going on. Before your cat is due to arrive in the new home make sure there is fresh food, water, a litter tray and your cat’s favourite blanket or bed in a lockable room to prevent accidental escapes. Unless your cat is exceptionally mellow, it will take a while until he feels comfortable venturing into other rooms. Try to stick to as much of a routine as you possibly can, ensuring affection, fresh food and water is available as usual. As a safety measure, before you move make sure your cat has appropriate identification, such as a microchip and a collar with your mobile phone number on it. It’s best to keep your cat indoors for the first few weeks – let him get to know his new home before he explores outside.” pets-delight.com “Thorough planning is essential to ensure that your possessions are handled with care. Once you entrust the task to specialists, the entire responsibility will rest upon them to move the goods. The right tools, transportation, trucks and warehouses for storage will enable the packer to deliver your goods in a safe and secure manner. Fragile items are wrapped up thoroughly to prevent breakage, and everything is labelled clearly. Hiring the services of a professional moving company is the only way to enjoy a stress-free relocation, leaving you to focus on other important matters. Take some time to make enquiries about the experience of the moving company’s estimators and packers. Do not hesitate to ask for references before you make that crucial decision of entrusting your belongings to the movers.” pack2go.ae September 2013 Better Interiors 63 Let there be light Five new flawless designs from Home Centre My style Essential interiors inspiration – whatever your taste ‘If the lighting in your home isn’t right, you will lose the ambience – and that’s what makes a home special...’ explosion of colours is always inspiring.

Jamie Robertson, head chef of Gaucho Dubai, shares his advice HOW TO COOK THE PERFECT STEAK Famed for its flawless cuts of Argentinian beef, Gaucho is a steak institution. After years of serving up the choicest cuts in London, its chefs ventured to Dubai – and the sleek DIFC branch was born. It’s a luxe homage to all-things meaty, with cool monochrome interiors, an eclectic international menu and quirky cow hide décor motifs – but the steak is the star of the show. Head chef Jamie Robertson is the man behind the grills, and an expert on the tastiest cuts: “For the best medium rare steak, choose rib eye or sirloin – they need a good amount of time for the fat to melt. For leaner sirloins, a rare finish works well too. Rump is best when cooked medium rare or below, and a tenderloin is perfect at any temperature.” When it comes to recreating great steak at home, Jamie’s advice is simple: “You need a solid cast iron griddle pan – it’s the essential utensil, and a good-quality one won’t let you down.” gauchorestaurants.co.uk 1. Always use a griddle pan. The lines in the pan ensure that the steak doesn’t burn, and give you an amazing caramelisation on the meat. Always make sure the pan is smoking hot before the steak makes contact. 2. Lightly brush the steak with a little corn oil. Corn oil doesn’t burn like olive oil, so it won’t taint the taste of the meat.
